selected option text jquery code example

Example 1: jquery get selected option value

var selectedOptionText = $('#mySelectID').find(":selected").text();//selected option text
var selectedOptionVal = $('#mySelectID').find(":selected").val();//selected option value

Example 2: get text of selected option jquery

$('#id').children(':selected').text();

Example 3: get text selected option jquery

$('#id option:selected').text()

Example 4: jquery selected option text

$("#mySelect option:selected").html();

Example 5: jquery selected option text

$( "#myselect option:selected" ).text();

Example 6: get selected option text jquery

I think this should be $("#yourdropdownid").children("option").filter(":selected").text() since is() returns a boolean of whether the object matches the selector or not.
